Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to the Auto Clipper mobile application and its related processing services, including backend systems used to analyze, transcribe, render, store, and deliver video clips.

1. Information We Collect

The type of data we process depends on the features you use.

1.1 Account and Profile Data

We may collect and store:

Firebase User ID
Email address and display name (when signing in with Google)
Sign-in status (e.g., anonymous or linked account)
Subscription tier and expiration metadata
API key status for Pro web panel access

1.2 Subscription and Purchase Verification Data

If you subscribe through Google Play, we may process:

Subscription product ID
Purchase or order identifier
Google Play purchase token (for server-side verification)
Subscription status, acknowledgement state, and expiration time

We do not receive your full payment card or banking information. All payments are handled by Google Play and its payment processors.

1.3 Media and Content You Provide

Depending on your usage, we may process:

Video files imported from your device
Subtitle files, clip selections, titles, captions, and related metadata
URLs you provide for content processing
Generated outputs such as transcripts, timestamps, clip suggestions, thumbnails, and rendered videos

1.4 Device, Notification, and Operational Data

We may process:

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) token
Notification preferences
Server request data, timestamps, job IDs, queue status, and error logs

1.5 Advertising Data

The app uses Google AdMob on supported features. Google and its partners may collect device, network, and interaction data according to their own privacy policies when ads are displayed.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected data to:

Create and manage user accounts
Authenticate users and secure access
Verify subscriptions and manage Pro features
Process media (upload, fetch, transcribe, clip, render, and store results)
Provide gallery history and downloads
Send notifications and service updates
Support free-tier features (including ads and usage limits)
Monitor performance, prevent abuse, and improve reliability

3. When Media Leaves Your Device

Some features are processed locally. However, certain features require server-side processing.

If you use features such as clipping, transcription, rendering, gallery storage, niche research, or URL import, your selected or fetched media will be uploaded to our backend.

Generated outputs (such as clips, transcripts, thumbnails, and subtitles) may also be stored on our servers to support history, status tracking, and downloads.

4. Sharing and Service Providers

We may share data with trusted service providers that help operate the app, including:

Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Firebase Cloud Messaging
Google Play Billing (subscription management and verification)
Google AdMob (advertising)
Backend hosting and infrastructure providers
AI processing providers (e.g., Google Gemini, OpenAI, Zhipu), when enabled

We do not sell your personal data.

We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect users, the service, or the public.

5. Data Retention

We retain data based on its purpose:

Account and subscription data: retained while your account is active and as needed for legal, billing, and security purposes
Media and generated content: retained while jobs are active and available in your gallery/history, subject to cleanup policies
Logs and system data: retained for troubleshooting, abuse prevention, and system integrity

6. Your Choices

You can:

Sign in with Google or use anonymous mode (where available)
Manage permissions (storage, notifications) via device settings
Cancel subscriptions through Google Play
Delete local media from your device
Contact us regarding your account-related data

7. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect your data, including authenticated access controls and encrypted data transmission where applicable.

However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children’s Privacy

This service is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law).

If you believe a child has provided personal data without proper consent, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be considered the official version.
